MP wants road closures review in bushfire areas

The state Upper House Member for Eastern Victoria, Philip Davis, is calling for a review of road closures in bushfire affected areas.

The Liberal Member says many landholders have been frustrated at not being able to access their properties and attend to livestock after a fire.

He has asked Roads Minister Terry Mulder to review the process of road closures to give locals faster access.

"At the same time of course we have to deal with the fact that there is a risk to road users," he said.

"So while it is still, if you like, certainly fresh in everyone's minds, it is appropriate to have a look at the way in which the policy of road closures is operating and ensure that we have a consistent policy."
